Following up to my previous posting on successfully building elvis:

BEWARE! elvis is NOT cleaning up properly - it leaves LOST CLUSTERS
on the temp disk. In my case this is a RAMDISK, and I did not check
it after initially playing with elvis. elvis appears to work fine -
I have used most of its commands, and it appears to be a VERY faithful
clone of vi. I have no idea why it creates lost clusters in the
temp disk, but that makes it HIGHLY SUSPECT. Others have reported
similar problems using Quick C (I used Turbo C).  Good Luck!
